Cemetery Gate is a two-mana 0/4 Wall with protection from black — a defensive body that blanks black attackers entirely but contributes nothing to your own offense. It's a bulk common that sees play only in the most casual creature-stall builds, and even there it rarely earns its slot.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |

| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Cemetery Gate is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Pauper, and Oathbreaker, but sees negligible competitive play in any of them. In Commander, a 0/4 Wall that only stops black creatures is too narrow — most tables run multicolor threats, and a blocker that can't block half the room isn't pulling its weight. Pauper is the one format where cheap defensive commons occasionally find niche homes, but even there Cemetery Gate offers too little: the protection from black rarely matters, and the zero power means it will never close a game.
